Athletics' Lazaro Armenteros: Outrighted to Triple-A
Armenteros cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas by the Athletics on Thursday, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.
Armenteros was removed from the A's 40-man roster earlier this week, but all other teams passed on adding him via waivers so he will remain in the Oakland organization. The 24-year-old has slashed only .133/.278/.250 with a 51.4 percent strikeout rate this season with Las Vegas.

Athletics' Freddy Tarnok: Starts up rehab assignment
Tarnok (hip) struck out one batter and allowed one hit over a scoreless inning in his first rehab start Wednesday with Triple-A Las Vegas.
Tarnok tossed only 10 pitches before his day came to an end, but the light workload could have been part of a pre-planned arrangement as the right-hander slowly ramps his way back up from right hip surgery, which he underwent in late August. The 25-year-old resides on the Athletics' 60-day injured list and won't be eligible for activation until late May, so he'll have plenty of time to build up his innings and pitch counts as he stretches back out for a starting role. Tarnok has two minor-league options remaining, so he could end up sticking around with Las Vegas if Oakland doesn't have an opening for him in the rotation once his 30-day rehab window closes.

Athletics' Sean Newcomb: Sim game on tap
Newcomb (knee) is slated to throw a simulated game Friday at the Athletics' minor-league complex in Arizona, MLB.com reports.
The veteran left-hander has yet to pitch this season due to knee irritation, but he's been in a throwing progression since the latter portion of April and appears set for the next step. If the sim game goes well Friday, Newcomb could potentially soon progress to what would project to be a fairly lengthy rehab assignment, due to how long he's been sidelined.

Athletics' Mason Miller: Stellar in non-save scenario
Miller fired two perfect innings during which he recorded four strikeouts in the first game of a doubleheader against the Rangers on Wednesday.
Miller had last taken the hill May 1, so manager Mark Kotsay opted to give his closer some much-needed work with the Athletics up by five runs. The extended layoff didn't seem to faze Miller in the least, as he located 24 of 32 pitches for strikes in a relatively efficient showing. The hard-throwing right-hander lowered his ERA and WHIP to 1.10 and 0.67, respectively, in the process, and with the Athletics much more competitive than expected thus far, Miller's prospects for save opportunities over the long term are brighter than when the season began, despite the recent stretch of inactivity.

Athletics' Abraham Toro: On base four times in loss
Toro went 3-for-5 with an RBI single, a double, a walk and two runs during a loss to the Rangers in the second game of a doubleheader Wednesday.
Toro continued to wield one of the hottest bats in the majors during the nightcap, bouncing back from an 0-for-3 showing in the matinee of the twin bill with his seventh multi-hit effort in the last nine games. Toro's strikeout rate during that stretch is a minuscule 7.1 percent, and his slash line now sits at a season-best .293/.351/.447 across 134 plate appearances.

Athletics' Max Schuemann: Productive in twin bill Wednesday
Schuemann went 3-for-7 with a double, two walks and two runs during Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.
Schuemann did the majority of his damage in the nightcap, when he got on base thrice via a pair of singles and a walk and came around to score twice. The rookie has now reached safely in five consecutive games, a stretch during which he 's lifted his batting average and on-base percentage to .216 and .348, respectively.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Belts third homer in twin bill
Harris 2-for-6 with a solo home run, an RBI sacrifice fly, two walks and an additional run over both games of a doubleheader against the Rangers on Wednesday.
The rookie uncorked his first homer since belting his first two big-league round trippers in only his second career game on Saturday versus the Marlins. Harris also continued to display some solid plate discipline for a rookie by drawing another pair of free passes, pushing his walk rate to a stellar 19.4 percent across his first 31 plate appearances.

Athletics' Brent Rooker: Stays hot in twin bill
Rooker went 5-for-9 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, four runs scored and three RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Rangers.
The 29-year-old did most of his damage in the matinee, slugging a three-run homer in the seventh inning off Cole Winn. Rooker has hit safely in six of the last seven games, batting .462 (12-for-26) with three doubles, four long balls, 10 runs, 11 RBI and a strong 5:5 BB:K. After a breakout 2023, Rooker might be finding another level this season -- through 27 contests, he's slashing .277/.370/.628 with nine homers and 24 RBI.

Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom: Belts first 2024 homer
Soderstrom went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Rangers.
Getting the start at first base in the nightcap and batting eighth in his MLB season debut, Soderstrom got hold of a cutter by Jack Leiter and drove it over the fence in left-center field in the fourth inning. Soderstrom's power is legit -- he has two 20-homer campaigns in the minors, and he'd clubbed seven long balls in 27 games for Triple-A Las Vegas prior to his promotion Wednesday -- but Oakland prefers Shea Langeliers' defense behind the plate, and the team's 1B/DH situation is crowded. Playing time could be hard for Soderstrom to come by, even if he does stick around on the big-league roster.

Athletics' Shea Langeliers: Sets record in twin bill
Langeliers went 5-for-9 with a double, a triple, two home runs, a third run scored and eight RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Rangers.
The 26-year-old backstop fell a single short of a cycle in the matinee while driving in five runs, and Langeliers then launched his second long ball of the day in the second inning of the nightcap off Jack Leiter. Langeliers' eight RBI were the most ever by an Oakland player in a doubleheader, breaking the record of seven set by Reggie Jackson in 1969. Langeliers has produced multiple hits with a homer in three of his last four games, but the surge has only brought his batting average up to .209 (24-for-115). He is supplying some big-time power, however. Through 34 contests, he's slugged nine homers with 24 RBI.

Athletics' JP Sears: Hangs on for third win
Sears (3-2) picked up the win in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rangers, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out three.
The southpaw wasn't particularly sharp, getting tagged for at least one run in three of the first four innings, but Sears stuck around long enough for the A's to take the lead for good while he was on the mound. He's lasted at least five innings in seven straight starts, but the results have been erratic. Sears will take a 4.20 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB through 45 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come early next week in Houston.

Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Removed with blister
Bido was removed from his start Wednesday due to a blister on his right middle finger, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Bido allowed four earned runs before he was removed from the game midway through the third inning. The severity of his injury is unclear, but the A's haven't given any indication that Bido will have to miss his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Tuesday.

Athletics' Tyler Nevin: Resting during Game 2
Nevin isn't in the Athletics' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers.
Nevin went 0-for-4 with a strikeout during Game 1, and he'll step out of the lineup for the nightcap. His absence will move Brent Rooker into right field while Shea Langeliers serves as Oakland's DH, allowing Kyle McCann to start behind the plate.

Athletics' J.D. Davis: Sitting for nightcap
Davis isn't in Oakland's lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rangers.
Davis went 1-for-3 with a walk and scored twice during a 9-4 victory in Game 1, and he'll catch a breather to conclude Wednesday's activities. Tyler Soderstrom will start at first base instead while batting eighth.

Athletics' Jacob Wilson: Moves up to Triple-A
The Athletics promoted Wilson from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Wilson made a mockery of Double-A pitching, slashing .455/.473/.705 with three home runs and 13 doubles in 22 games. The 22-year-old is now just one step away from the big leagues less than a year after the Athletics took him with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. Wilson doesn't project to show much power, but his hit tool has been as advertised thus far in his professional career.

Athletics' Ken Waldichuk: Visit with Dr. ElAttrache scheduled
Waldichuk (elbow) will visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Waldichuk recently had a setback while throwing a live batting practice session. He was diagnosed last October with a UCL sprain and flexor strain but chose a more conservative Tenex procedure to remove scar tissue and help alleviate pain. More will be known after Monday's exam, but his upcoming meeting with Dr. ElAttrache would seem to suggest that Waldichuk's treatment plan hasn't panned out as anticipated.

Athletics' Aledmys Diaz: Starting rehab assignment
Diaz (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas this weekend, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Diaz ran the bases Wednesday, which was the final hurdle he needed to clear before playing in games. He's on the 60-day injured list and won't be eligible for activation until late May, so Diaz will be in store for an extended rehab assignment.

Athletics' Seth Brown: Sits in early game of twin bill
Brown is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rangers.
Even with right-hander Michael Lorenzen taking the hill for Texas, the lefty-hitting Brown finds himself on the bench for the first game of the day. Brown has occupied a strong-side platoon role in the outfield this season, but his hold on a regular gig could be loosening while he's produced a career-worst .548 OPS while striking out 32 times in 103 plate appearances (31.1 percent) so far on the campaign. Esteury Ruiz will fill in for Brown in left field.
